Nutcracker: Act 1: March
Staccato-short Legato-smooth
Midnight in the house, the church bells chime
Midnight in the house, a magic time!
Listen, you will hear tiny feet draw near
The mouseketeers come into view!
Midnight in the house, the church bells chime,
Midnight in the house, a magic time
Soldiers fast asleep awaken with a leap!
Oh, here they come a marching two by two!
Forward march, and never fear! OH!
Forward march, the foe draws near! OH!
Midnight in the house, "To arms!" they cry,
Midnight in the house, "We'll do or die!"
Mice and soldiers come to the beating of the drum,
A raging pandemonium!
Midnight in the house, "To arms!" they cry,
Midnight in the house, "We'll do or die!"
The battle sound is all around!
Alas! A cheer for a tiny mouseketeer!
Forward march, don't count the cost! OH!
Forward march, all is not lost! OH!
Midnight in the house, the siege is done,
Midnight in the house, the battle's won!
When the Mouse King falls, we see the surest sign of victory!
Midnight in the house, the siege is done,
Midnight in the house, the battle's won!
Off to sleep they go in the afterglow!
Tiny toys beneath the Christmas tree!
Midnight in the house, the church bells chime
Midnight in the house, a magic time!
Listen, you will hear tiny feet draw near
The mouseketeers come into view!
Midnight in the house, the church bells chime,
Midnight in the house, a magic time
Soldiers fast asleep awaken with a leap!
Oh, here they come a marching two by two!
Forward march, and never fear! OH!
Forward march, the foe draws near! OH!
Midnight in the house, "To arms!" they cry,
Midnight in the house, "We'll do or die!"
Mice and soldiers come to the beating of the drum,
A raging pandemonium!
Midnight in the house, "To arms!" they cry,
Midnight in the house, "We'll do or die!"
The battle sound is all around!
Alas! A cheer for a tiny mouseketeer!
Forward march, don't count the cost! OH!
Forward march, all is not lost! OH!
Midnight in the house, the siege is done,
Midnight in the house, the battle's won!
When the Mouse King falls, we see the surest sign of victory!
Midnight in the house, the siege is done,
Midnight in the house, the battle's won!
Off to sleep they go in the afterglow!
Tiny toys beneath the Christmas tree!
